I think we need to stop putting politicians, no matter what their rank, on a pedestal.

As a bare minimum, they should be held to the same standards as regular people. But given their influence and ability to abuse it, there should be an even higher bar. I can see why a company like Twitter might get flack for holding a politician to a higher standard, but they certainly shouldn't be held to a lower standard.

No president, and especially not Trump, should be exempt from social media terms and conditions. If it were official statement on government websites or whatever, then fine.

I think all this shows is that the president of the U.S. is not bigger than everything and maybe that realization shocks people. People elevate presidents so high that when they are exposed for being weak, their reality is shattered.
